Frank bb0404c310 hermes-webui: add Hermex server as loopback compose service on Dankclaw
- compose: hermes-webui runs bootstrap.py --foreground in the agent image,
  shares /home/dank/hermes-data (same uid mapping as the gateway), publishes
  127.0.0.1:8787 only; password from host .env
- planner/remote deployer: hermes-webui is an isolated Dankclaw service
- tests: deployment integrity seam (loopback, auth, volume, healthcheck,
  planner narrowing, deployer dispatch)
- docs: Hermes-WebUI page with the iOS SSH-tunnel access pattern

# Hermes-Dashboard
The Hermes web dashboard is a browser UI for managing the agent. It shows config, API keys, and sessions. It is a management tool. It is not a chat window. Chat happens over Signal or the CLI. See [[Hermes]].
**Host:** Dankclaw — **Port:** `9119` — **URL:** `http://192.168.0.143:9119`
## Facts
| Item | Value |
|------|-------|
| Image | `docker.io/nousresearch/hermes-agent:latest` (same as the gateway) |
| Command | `hermes dashboard --host 0.0.0.0 --port 9119 --no-open --skip-build` |
| Port | `9119` (published to the LAN) |
| Auth | HTTP basic auth (username + scrypt password hash) |
| Data | shares `/home/dank/hermes-data` with the gateway |
## Why a separate container
The gateway container runs `hermes gateway run` (the Signal platform). That entrypoint does not start the dashboard. The dashboard is a separate process. So it runs in its own compose service (`hermes-dashboard`). Both services mount the same data volume. Both restart at boot (`restart: unless-stopped`).
## Authentication
The dashboard refuses to bind to a non-loopback address without an auth provider. There is no unauthenticated public bind. This repo uses basic auth:
- `dashboard.basic_auth.username` and `dashboard.basic_auth.password_hash` live in the live `/home/dank/hermes-data/config.yaml`; the tracked backup at `dankclaw/hermes/config.yaml.example` intentionally omits the password hash.
- The stored value is a one-way scrypt hash. The plaintext password is never written to a file or the repo.
- The hash is generated with `plugins.dashboard_auth.basic.hash_password`.
## Access
Open `http://192.168.0.143:9119` in a browser on the LAN. Log in with the configured username and password.
## Gotchas
- The dashboard and the gateway share one data volume. A config change made in the dashboard takes effect when the gateway restarts.
- If the shared password is reused elsewhere, treat it as exposed. Rotate it and regenerate the hash.
- `--skip-build` uses the prebuilt web assets in the image. Do not remove it unless the assets are rebuilt.
